Dallas: We lose out on Jamison but get the size and skill down low that we need in Mihm and Wright, along with a defensive, grunge player in Bo Outlaw ti keep the 3 spot semi deep.l

Cleveland: Lose out on some size in Mihm and Illgauskas but is semi replaced with Jake Tsakalidis at 7'2" 290 as well as a great and classy nba talent in Jamison to work aside Lebron James. Together these two guys are a bit scary

Memphis: Memphis would do this to finally upgrade their talent and size at the 5 in Illgauskas while also freeing up the log jam at the three a bit in dealing Outlaw out of town.

Each team benefits from this without having to give up too much...I like this a lot for Dallas and it looks pretty good to the other teams.

Interesting trade. Dallas gets two big guys in Wright and Mihm. I'm not sure Cleveland is too excited to trade Mihm or Z. Besides, Cleveland already has Darius Miles at SF so why would they want Jamison? I'm might consider it if I were Dallas because of the big people but I doubt Cleveland and Memphis do this trade.

Outlaw is trash. But I'd do the trade to get Mihm and Wright. But would Cleveland do it? It seems like they're giving up too much and getting too little. Jamison really doesn't fill a need for them. With Memphis it's marginal. If they're really high on Big Z I can see them doing it.

But if I was Nellie and had this deal offered, I'd take it most definitely. I just don't see it as being likely to be accepted elsewhere.

Well Im sure that Cleveland would consider other possibilities..but all in all how many teams will offer all star talent as well as a replacement in size down low while at the same time giving them the point guard that they are in desparate need right now in one trade. Illguskas trade value may be as high as it will ever be right now, making a decision to be made on whether Cleveland management wants to capatilize on this.

This trade i.m.o. would put them in great position to make a playoff run. D Miles is not living up to expectation and right now is coming off of the bench for christ sake, Ricky Davis could stay with them but this trade sets them up to make a future trade if need be. Simply put, it is hard to find NBA talent with the lack of baggage on them such as Jamison portrays...i think Cleveland would definitely jump on it after weighing the pros to cons.

I'd probably do this.

How could anyone say no to it? Its perfect..we get what we need in two big centers who can rebound and play some tough D with a 10 minute per game role player in Outlaw. The other teams involved upgrade and get better as well so at the end of the day everyone is happy and better suited for success than they previously were.

damn, that lineup is so darn pretty it just brings a tear to my eye. It would be hard as hell for Nellie to play small ball with this lineup and we finally get that tough defensive/rebounding crew at the 5 that we need.
